K I could be mistaken, but I read in Canada there are no tax breaks for money spent on dining, recreation, or sporting events. So selling boxes might not be as easy as everyone thinks.

Why is jim not backing pegula

Big time

Why would you say anything at this point that would discourage local buyer.?

The Toronto's groups PR team at work.

Do it come back player of the year.

They need to ride manual out this year. Next year with no 1st they will have to overpay for an unproven like mallet. Or maybe they will sell us another 2nd rounder that should have been a first story. Oh never mind Ralph is gone, forget the 2nd rounder story. They need to ride manual out this year.

I thought out of school he was raw with bad mechanics that could be fixed. They said his smarts and will to compete are what he had going for him. What happened?

Sucks

Just caught me by surprise because 2 seperate people said it. Can't find anything about it.

Was in boston today, local told me flutie was now involved in a group interested in buying the bills. Little while later someone else told me the same thing. I told him he was crazy and must have flutie and bon jovi mixed and he insisted it was f lutie. Anyone else there this?

Initially I thought the soft deadline was about greed, but maybe not. if you think about it, the trust really has to identify 2 or 3 groups that they feel will fill there obligation or requirement. If Mr. Pegula was the only one, that would leave the trust at a serious disadvantage if something goes wrong. Image they get through this process with only him initially, and learn we under some type of federal investigation or pending huge law suit, or something. They would have likely have to go back to find a new bidder, who would likely all throw several low ball offer at them, or have would have to accepted an offer from someone with out of town interest. The way the NFL runs its business, i don't think the owner of the Browns would have been approved if the league knew then what they know now. After Mr, Wilson passed, I had read that normally when someone is interested in buying an NFL team, they would contact the league office, and the league office would put them through like a pre-approval program. If they were pre-approved by the league they would have to wait, and the league would eventually contact then when a team became available. If they were interested they would put the two together and the process would go from there. That was the reason no one knew the Browns were for sale until the deal was done. With the way the Bills sale was moving initially, and the way everyone was talking, I thought the same was true, I had thought that Jim Kelly,s group, head by Howard Milestein was all set and they were gonna build a new stadium in Niagara Falls, backed by Gov. we will win multiple superbowls and the rest was history. But that didn't happen. Maybe setting up the trust, and allowing then to move the piece around, and lining them up gives them the best chance to keep the team here, and take the decision making away for the Jerry Jones of the league.

I've always read she can own the team and not be taxed, the problem would be if the team was left to his daughter? If the spouse is a US citizen, no tax is passed along.

If Mary Wilson is so worried about everyone keeping their jobs, why sell the team in the first place. She has Russ and the other to run it. In today's NFL you can't lose money even if you tried. The team has no debt. Pegula has the money, he offering to more then anyone has ever paid for an NFL franchise, he believe he is willing to keep the team local, he appears to have a big plan not only for the bills, but for W.N.Y sports in general The Wilson family has made 100's of millions over the years, there 25,000 investment has multipled 52,000 times over?. To drag this thing on just doesn't seem right.

I don't know Kelly? talked about this the other day, this soft bid deadline? Something doesn't seem right. If Ralph really cared we would of taken care of this before we passed. I'm most likely wrong, but just doesn't feel right.

Thank you, and I'm sure your just as much of a fan as I'm, and lets remember we both want the same thing here. I believe Mr. Pegula is the best and most logical choice for all the reason you already stated, but I guess my big concern here is that I don't know if Morgan Stanley is just keeping the door open for bids or actually trying to solicit bids. I do agree the trust should leave the door open, they may get to the final stages and find out Pegula is involved in some type of law suit or crime, similar to the owner of the Browns. I'm not saying he is, but hey you never know. But if the trust is asking Morgan Stanley to actively try to purse bids, I don't think that's right. I feel the Pegula's are the best choice, they stepped up when they were supposed to, I think you would be hard pressed to find a fans or state offical who doesn't want the Pegula's to own the team, and I think the estate is getting more then a fair deal. If the current speculation is correct the Pegula's should not be squeezed because of it. I never disliked or liked Mr. Wilson, I thought he was good for the league, and I was thankful I had a team growing up, but I feel for everything he gave, he got back 10 times over already. You have to remember being a Bills fan conspiracy is in our blood. It a hard habit to break.
